020 7935 8366The HDA is proud to be one of the three charities chosen by Waitrose Marylebone High Street as the Charities of the Month for October 2011 and would like to thank those who truly believed in our cause and nominated us for the sponsorship.
The Community Matters scheme is run at the Waitrose branches in support of the local charities and community groups within their trading area. It also allows the customers to participate in investment decision-making and become the benefactors at no extra cost.
The shopping is transformed from a chore into a feel good experience when customers are presented with an opportunity to express their preferences to their local organisations. Simply by placing a token or a green coin, given at the checkout, in the box for the relevant cause shoppers choose which community group they wish to support providing a much needed help.
The amount of £1,000 will be available at the end of this month, which will be divided proportionally between the HDA and other two non-for-profit organisations.
We are very grateful to all our supporters, friends and members of the general public who donate green coins at Marylebone store and help our doctors carry on seeing patients in medical difficulties free of charge.
If you would like to continue supporting our charity, please nominate us at your local Waitrose!
